Logo contest: Animal Referral Center

What we do:

We are a 24-hour, 365 days/year veterinary emergency and specialty hospital. We offer board-certified specialists in surgery, internal medicine, oncology, cardiology and rehab.

Our target audience is two pronged - referring veterinarians send us their own patients (dogs and cats only) when the case becomes more advanced than their expertise and the general public finds our emergency services when their own veterinarians are unavailable.

In other words, we need something that speaks to both the average pet owner and other veterinary professionals - with equal importance given to both the emergency and specialty aspects of our practice.

No preference, but would tend to like it limited to no more than 3 colors

We are open to either an acronym logo ("ARC") or one with the full company name, so long as our services are easily recognizable.

See here - http://blogs.broadviewuniversity.edu/2011/11/07/broadview-university-welcomes-holistic-veterinary-medicine-expert-for-next-cape-seminar/ - for an example of an acronym with name spelled out that indicates a relationship with animals and plays off the acronym. In our case ARC. This design is a bit too hokey but I like the general concept that it accomplishes.
